Starting in January 1936, as a radio drama, Al Hodge played the duel role of newspaper publisher Britt Reid and masked crime fighter, The Green Hornet. The creative genius behind this drama was George Trendle, who had made a hit out of the radio show, The Lone Ranger. Created as a spin-off to this popular show, the young nephew of the Lone Ranger, Dan Reid, grew up to be the father of The Green Hornet. The Green Hornet, Britt Reid, was a crusader with the ability to sway public opinion against corruption and crime. The radio show opened with the music of Flight Of The Bumblebee and a story about him fighting crime and racketeers feeling the sting of The Green Hornet. In the supporting cast was Kato, his Filipino aide and the only person who knew that Reid and the Hornet were the same man. He drove a souped up roadster know as The Black Beauty. Hidden in an abandoned warehouse adjoining Reid's apartment by a secret passageway, he drove the Black Beauty through the streets at night, its powerful motor whirring like a maddened insect. 60 Episodes from the sixth recorded series each episode lasting around 20 minutes each.
